How can arrays be effectively utilized in PHP to manage and manipulate data from CSV files for archiving?

To effectively manage and manipulate data from CSV files for archiving in PHP, arrays can be utilized to store the data from the CSV file in a structured format. By reading the CSV file line by line and storing the data in an array, we can easily access and manipulate the data as needed. Additionally, arrays allow us to perform operations such as sorting, filtering, and searching on the data from the CSV file. 

<?php

// Read data from CSV file and store in an array
$csvData = [];
if (($handle = fopen("data.csv", "r")) !== false) {
    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== false) {
        $csvData[] = $data;
    }
    fclose($handle);
}

// Access and manipulate data from the array
foreach ($csvData as $row) {
    // Perform operations on each row of data
    echo implode(",", $row) . "\n";
}

?>
